I'm still using an old WNDR-3700 (gigabit ports, dial band, agn) with OpenWRT, though the 2.4 wifi has gotten pretty spotty lately and I now have it set to do nightly reboots.
I'll likely replace it with one of the newer Mikrotik routers soon, mostly because we've started using them at work and for clients and it'd be good to have another spot to get and stay familiar with them. That said, while RouterOS is powerful it has a not insignificant learning curve. I've also seen firmware images and wiki entries indicating that you can run OpenWRT on some models, but I'm not sure how well supported that is.
